1 Chronicles 17:7-14 GW (7) "Now this is what you will say to my servant David: 'This is what the LORD of Armies says: I took you from the pasture where you followed sheep so that you could be the leader of my people Israel. (8) I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies in front of you. I will make your name like the names of the greatest people on earth. (9) I will make a place for my people Israel and plant them there. They will live in their own place and not be troubled anymore. The wicked will no longer frighten them as they used to do (10) ever since I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. (The eternal salvation of Israel being spoken of here is of spiritual Israel, not fleshly Israel. [Rom 9:6-8; Gal 3:26-29] Since Christ came, salvation is obtained through Christianity, not Judaism. [Acts 4:12]) I will crush all your enemies. I even tell you that I, the LORD, will build a house for you. (11) "'When the time comes for you to go and be with your ancestors, I will send one of your descendants. He will be one of your sons. I will establish his kingdom. (12) He will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. (13) I will be his Father, and he will be my Son. And I will never stop showing him my love as I did to your predecessor. (14) I will place him in my royal house forever, and his throne will be established forever.'"
1 Chronicles 17:7-14 GNB (7) "So tell my servant David that I, the LORD Almighty, say to him, 'I took you from looking after sheep in the fields and made you the ruler of my people Israel. (8) I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have defeated all your enemies as you advanced. I will make you as famous as the greatest leaders in the world. (9) I have chosen a place for my people Israel and have settled them there, where they will live without being oppressed any more. (The eternal salvation of Israel being spoken of here is of spiritual Israel, not fleshly Israel. [Rom 9:6-8; Gal 3:26-29] Since Christ came, salvation is obtained through Christianity, not Judaism. [Acts 4:12]) Ever since they entered this land they have been attacked by violent people, but this will not happen again. I promise to defeat all your enemies and to give you descendants. (10) (SEE 17:9) (11) When you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will make one of your sons king and will keep his kingdom strong. (12) He will be the one to build a temple for me, and I will make sure that his dynasty continues forever. (13) I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not withdraw my support from him as I did from Saul, whom I removed so that you could be king. (14) I will put him in charge of my people and my kingdom forever. His dynasty will never end.' "
1 Chronicles 17:7-14 LITV (7) And now you shall say this to My servant, to David, So says Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken you from the pasture from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel; (8) and I have been with you wherever you have walked; and I have cut off all your enemies from before you; and have made for you a name like the name of the great ones in the earth. (9) And I will prepare a place for My people Israel, and he will plant, and he will dwell in his place, and shall not be made to tremble any more; nor shall the sons of wickedness waste him any more, as at the first; (10) yea, even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel. (The eternal salvation of Israel being spoken of here is of spiritual Israel, not fleshly Israel. [Rom 9:6-8; Gal 3:26-29] Since Christ came, salvation is obtained through Christianity, not Judaism. [Acts 4:12]) And I will humble all your enemies; and I declare to you that Jehovah shall build a house for you; (11) and it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go away with your fathers, that I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons, and I shall establish his kingdom. (12) He shall build a house for Me, and I shall establish his throne forever; (13) I shall be a Father to him, and he shall be a son to Me; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it away from him who was before you; (14) and I will make him stand in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be made to stand forever.
